Dear Sir/Madam
This is my application for BSc Business Administration and Digital Management at the XXXX Business School.
First, I would like to introduce myself; my name is XXXXXXX, I am 20 years old and I am from Norway. During my high school years, I attended Oslo Handelsgymansium, which is a school with long traditions of students opting for a career in business. When choosing subjects like: Entrepreneurship and marketing, my interest within the field of business grew profoundly. At the same time, I had English A and German BA, as languages, and the understanding of different cultures fascinate me.
To further my understanding of what it is like to study business, I am currently enrolled in a yearlong part-time study at “Handelshøyskolen BI Oslo”. The course I am taking consists of four subjects. Two of which I have already completed, and two of which I am currently studying.
During the first semester, I had “Situational leadership”, where I learned how and why a leader should vary her/his leadership style to best fit the given situation, rather than using a “one size fits all” approach. As well as how I can practice leadership styles, such as coaching, directing, delegating and supporting, and how to recognize which style to use when, and with whom.
The second subject was; “Supply chain management and logistics”. This was the subject that made me undoubtedly confident that I wanted to study within the field of business. First, I learned the different ways supply chains are organized and the pros and cons of these. Secondly, I am also now able to conduct economic forecasting, using MAD (Mean absolute deviation) and MAPE (Mean absolute percentage error), to predict trends. Thirdly, I was taught about effective stock control and inventory management, for instance how to calculate EOQ (Economic order quantity). Lastly, I learned about transportation. How it affects the supply chains, along with the different modes of transportation.
This semester I am taking; Business administration and HR management. So far, I am enjoying these as much as the previous two subjects.
Why do I wish to study the programme?
I wish to study BSc Business administration and Digital Management because I believe, that to stay competitive in this digital age, one must have a considerable amount of insight as to how new technology works and how it will affect the whole world. Today the speed of digital innovation is exponentially skyrocketing.
Customers are increasingly expecting to be able to buy, use and pay for services and products, in a simple and reliable way. However, whenever and wherever they would like. Therefore, organizations are forced to make decisions faster, to stay competitive. Using new tools and techniques to turn data into meaningful business insights, so that they can construct statistical models, that will help them segment customers and tailor their offers, thus being able to react quickly to occurring trends.
Today people all over the world have access to mobile phones and/or the internet, that basically means that in this digital age, competitors are not just down the road, or in the same city or even in the same country, they are everywhere in the world, I therefore, strongly believe that a business education at CBS coupled with an understanding of todays, and tomorrows digital innovations will give me an edge to pursue a successful career in business in the future.
I am not entrily finished with it, there are some aspects i still am going to cover, like how i am socially, my future plans and why denmark.
Thank you so much in advance
